E87.7

Fluid overload

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 3 more specific codes instead:

  • E87.70 Fluid overload, unspecified
  • E87.71 Transfusion associated circulatory overload
  • E87.79 Other fluid overload

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2007 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

  1. FY2007 Added to the draft code set draft Fluid overload
  2. FY2011 Removed from the draft draft
  3. FY2012 Returned to the draft draft
